Neighbors should worry about interference

I am writing in regards to the KRKO antenna project.

Who should be concerned about the KRKO antenna project? Anyone who uses electronic devices relying on radio frequencies: anyone who watches TV, listens to the radio, wears a hearing aid, uses a baby monitor or telephone, has a garage door opener, and perhaps even anyone who uses a pacemaker has just cause to be alarmed.

Anyone who lives within a one-mile radius of the tower, which is planned to be built across the street from Craven farm and next to Deb’s U-Cut Trees, can expect a total blanketing of interference from the radio and cell frequencies. The city of Snohomish, at three miles away, can expect interference at the rate of a half to three-quarters volt per meter as well. Citizens, unless you let your voice be heard, you can expect your quality of life to be altered.
